London, June 25 (IANS) Late pop legend Michael Jackson's sister Janet Jackson says she has been a tomboy but now she is trying to embrace more feminine clothing.

"I've always been a tomboy. I have started to enjoy wearing dresses more but I am a tomboy at heart," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

"I work with an amazing stylist, Robert Behar, who helps me when I'm going to public events. Otherwise, I just put on jeans and a T-shirt," she said.

The 45-year-old, who has seen her weight fluctuating over the years feels it is difficult to maintain a good regime when on the road.

"I always see things I want to change and think I will always have body issues, but I am happy with where I am. I try not to call it a diet, but a lifestyle. It's easy in that. I get double the amount of exercise because I try to work out before doing the two-hour show," she said.

"But it's also harder because your body doesn't get the time to recoup what it really needs," she added.
